We are developing a muon linac, which will be first case in the world, for the muon anomalous magnetic moment measurement at J-PARC. In the experiment, an ultra-cold muon beam is generated from a surface muon beam by a thermal muonium production followed by the laser dissociation and accelerated to 300 MeV/c by the linac. The muon linac consists of an RFQ, an inter-digital H-mode (IH) drift tube linac (DTL), a Disk And Washer (DAW) structure, and a disk loaded structure. The ultra-cold muons will have an extremely small momentum spread of about 0.1% with a normalized transverse emittance of around 1.5 mm-mrad. In order to satisfy experimental requirement of extremely small transverse divergence angle, the muon should be accelerated without substantial emittance growth. The RFQ was already commissioned at J-PARC with nominal operation power. The beam dynamics and cavity design of IH-DTL and DAW has finished. In this talk, current status of the developments will be presented.
